Re: Best way to DB import 1M+ rows?

[johnb]

If it's just a single table and you have it in a db locally then
db:push --tables  would get it up to heroku - but this will
replace the contents of the remote table with the local table and not
append to it. If the application is live you could put it into
maintenance mode, db:pull --tables  append your rows to it
and then push the table back and put the app live...


perhaps?

Re: keep-alive time?

[johnb]

yeah, if a request takes too long then Heroku would kill the request,

"If your dyno takes more than 30 seconds to respond to a request, the
mesh will serve a “Request Timeout” page to the user."

from

http://docs.heroku.com/performance

Hope that helps,

John.

Re: Trying to migrate to Bamboo

[johnb]

try it with a clean app on heroku, you can create the app on bamboo on
initial creation - although I've never had a problem migrating an app
over to bamboo

heroku create myapp --stack bamboo --remote my2ndbambootest

--remote specifies what the remote git repo will be referred to
locallly.

and the push to the new app

git push my2ndbambootest master

hosting app on root domain?

[johnb]

Has anyone found a nice way to host an app on a root domain being as
you can't create an empty cname record?

For example I want to run on myapp.com and not www.myapp.com - I can
setup redirects from myapp.com to www.myapp.com in my domain control
panel but I can't figure out a way to run my app on myapp.com

thanks,

john.

I use www.backupmyapp.com - pretty neat service, files + database.

Re: Slightly OT: Backups and S3

[johnb]

I've been playing with backupmyapp.com - they recently changed their
pricing model and made it much more viable - works fine with Heroku
too..that might be just the ticket for you

I'd imagine they're using s3 behind the scenes.

Re: reading database.yml

[johnb]

the environment variable ENV['DATABASE_URL'] will contain the database
url that is being used on heroku apps - read that to get the db url ur
app is using then set it in the app u want to share db with perhaps?

Re: Any plans for some sort of shared storage?

[johnb]

having played with Amazon EC2 infrastructures myself I can understand
the architectural problem. EBS volumes can only be attached to one
Instance at a time so you have to run an EC2 Instance to expose the
EBS volume as a NFS share to your application instances - immediately
a single point of failure is introduced.

So assuming the point of failure is acceptable - a dyno would then
have to be able to link to an apps shared area on the NFS - not
knowing much about the Heroku archicture mind you it doesn't sound all
that complicated in theory.

Currently with our BrowserCMS installs on Rackspace, uploads are
stored in shared/uploads which we present as /tmp/uploads via a
symlink so we can replace the code/templates without touching the
uploaded assets.

talking in theory here, I'm sure the guys at Heroku would have
implemented this if it was possibleguys - any thoughts?
